A verse shared with you

Dhammapada · 10.6

Sace neresi attānaṃ, kaṃso upahato yathā;Esa pattosi nibbānaṃ, sārambho te na vijjati.

Sace neresi attanam, kamso upahato yatha; Esa pattosi nibbanam, sarambho te na vijjati.

If you make yourself silent like a broken gong, you have attained nibbāna; no anger is found in you.
